I think it's time for a new Member Library... and yes, we could just update the old one, but for all the work it'd take, might as well just make a new one, and "retire" the old, outdated one.
Many parts of the old Member Library will be carried over to the new one, but there will be some changes.
First of all, the Member FAQ will have 2 sections for each person - a space for info written about themself, and a space for inf owritten about them by other members.
In the old Library there was quite a bit dedicated to ranks, such as "Who's What Rank List" and "Rank Info". Both of those will not exist in the new Library.
A good way to get to know other members is on messengers such as AIM, MSN, and others, so there will be a new "Member Messenger Directory".
Also, no need for a new "Member Memorial"... if someone needs to know something, they can look at the old one.
Of course there needs to be a post for "Credits / Acknowledgements".
BUT THE BIGGEST ADDITION IS.........
*drum roll*
<big><big><big><big><big><big>THE MEMBER HALL OF FAME!</big></big></big></big></big></big><big><big>
The reason why I'm creating the Member HOF is because there are lots of members who deserve some sort of special recognition, but will not be able to obtain the Sage rank. So, the very least is they should be acknowledged for helping shape TBT into what it is today.
Here's how it works:
Every month, there will be a nomination thread, where everyone will be able to nominate any non-staff, non-Sage, non-banned members to be elected into the HoF. Then, a committee will select 5 of the nominations to be put up on the "final ballot". Every member will be able to vote for 2 members, and the Top 2 each month will be elcted into the Hall of Fame.

If you'd be interested in helping with the new Library, please send me a PM. Thanks!
If all goes well, it should be up by the end of next weekend.</big>
